Rep. Ben Albritton was involved in passing a law requiring Canadian tourists to obtain an international driving permit.
State Rep. Ben Albritton, R-Wauchula, who was involved in passing the 2012 law that created a controversy in Canada over driving permits, sent a letter to Canadian officials notifying them that the Legislature is working on a fix and again apologizing for the problems.
Albritton noted the House Economic Affairs Committee endorsed a bill on Thursday that would eliminate the requirement that Canadians and other foreign visitors to Florida obtain an international driving permit in order to drive on Florida's roadways. The bill _ which was also passed by the Senate Transportation Committee _ will return the law to its pre-2012 status, which only requires foreign visitors to have a valid license from their country.
In a letter to Louise Leger, the Canadian consul general in Miami, Albritton explained the correction that was being made and he also said he was "immensely sorry" for the problem. The letter was also copied to Gary Doer, the Canadian ambassador to the United States.
"I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that it was never my intent to disenfranchise any Canadian visitors to our state or to discourage tourism in the state of Florida," Albritton wrote. "We value our international visitors, especially our Canadian friends, and look forward to continuing to welcome all visitors to our great state.
"I am proud to provide a solution to the concerns raised by last year's legislation that ensures Florida's roadways remain open as usual to all of our visitors. If you have any questions and/or concerns regarding the (bill) please do not hesitate to contact me. I am immensely sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused to our Canadian friends!"

The article failed to mention that Narum has had her signs out there for over 2 weeks. I didn't read about complaints on her also! Perhaps that is why Miller's team decided to put their's out. If anyone should know the recommendation of the City Manager, she should. After all she ran Jerry's campaign and is a commissioner! As was stated, it is a recommendation, not a law or ordinance.

I can't believe we're already here - I know they were having the special election but wow it got here fast!
I have been driving around Ptown a lot lately and haven't seen anyone else's signs up yet - where was Narum's up? As I recall Jerry's signage was up the same time as everyone.
While we're passionate, PTown seems pretty respectful during their election cycles. Thank you candidates!

Voter,just wondering where you've seen Narum's signs? I've seen numerous Miller signs in yards but haven't seen any of Narum signs in yards.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

It is just a policy but it has served the city well. I want the conversation to be about Pleasanton, not about who has the most or the biggest signs. I have talked to Miller and heard him speak to others. He exudes contempt. I am not surprised that he thinks it is ok just to ignore election policy. It shows a lack of respect and it also places the campaign on a very superficial level. I guess consider the source.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

I don't know who "Miller" is, and don't have a dog in this race, but I know I won't be voting for him after seeing his signs replace the makeshift "Downtown Gene" memorial outside of Tullys this weekend. The beautifully-done Gene tri-fold sign was tossed in the planter box; this is really poor form, disrespectful, and completely inappropriate.

David Miller is a registered user.
Dear Mr. Bing,
Two things about your posting concern me:
1. As you did not receive the email from City Manager Nelson Fialho, you must have received a copy from a candidate you already support. Additionally, you did not attempt to contact me to get my side of the situation. Is that impartial journalism?
2. The polls open on April 8, when the ballots go out to
Pleasanton Voters. That is when Election Day starts. On that day Pleasanton Voters can receive their Vote-by-Mail ballot. They can vote. And, they can return their ballots via the U.S. Post Office.
I will do the math for you... Forty days prior to April 8th is February 27th. Had you attempted to contact me, I would have told you that putting up campaign signs up earlier than March 29th is an unintended consequence of a historic Vote-by-Mail only Special Election. Had this been a 1 day election on May 7th, my campaign signs would have gone up on March 29th.
I expect an apology from you and your publication. Your posting has
misrepresented the situation and my intent. According to comments following your post, you've already cost me votes. Or was that your Intent?
David Miller
Candidate for Pleasanton City Council

So Dave, did you receive the email referenced from the City Manager? Did you contact him about your concern when the signs should be allowed to go up? Was this date, March 29th in the info given to candidates? Do you agree that no other candidate signs have been seen in residences unlike the first poster stated and seems to have failed to respond to? It seems like you don't think things like integrity apply to your candidacy.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Mar 12, 2013 at 9:48 pm
Wow...this is interesting...watching a candidate implode his own effort right in front of our eyes. Obviously never heard the old saying about arguing with those who buy ink (or bandwidth) by the barrel. Too bad he didn't address the issue I raised earlier; I would have liked to have heard his side of the story.
a resident of Birdland

I had a friend run for Council a while back.
I remember the candidates signed a campaign pledge.
Didn't all the candidates this time(including you) sign a pledge agreeing to certain campaign rules including no signs before the end of march?
Geez if you don't keep your promises now, and believe rules don't apply to you, I sure don't want you on city council. Holy cow.

Dave - You've got my vote cause you'll do something about those gold plated pensions. Check out how much vacation, sick days, floating holidays, administrative leave and other days these City Hall folk either get off, or get to get cash for. We re talking 60+ days a year if you been an employee for 15 years. Seems we taxpayers get stuck paying too much overtime. Countin on you Dave to get this out in the open and fixed. Bob

Dave gets my vote also. Who wants to "voluntarily" wait until March 29 to put up signs for an election with voting that starts on April 8? The signs are expensive, and the voters need some time to see them. As usual, the city's "voluntary law" is like most of the other stupid laws we see from our nanny governments: ill-conceived, expensive, and a waste of people's time. Go Dave. You get my vote because you will help us reduce the government's cost and intrusion into our lives. I am tired of bureaucrats telling me how to live my life, run my campaign, drink my coca-cola and eat my Happy Meals.
a resident of Downtown

Dave Miller is a gentleman with guts. Occasionally he "exudes contempt", but it is not contempt for people. It is contempt for the stupid things that have been done by past City Councils, and the negative impact that these poor decisions have had on our city and its financial condition. I am voting for Dave because he is the best person for Pleasanton. Who cares about lawn signs? The lawn signs will all be down in a few weeks, but whoever is elected to the Council will be there for a lot longer. The Pleasanton Weekly and all the posters here should be talking about qualifications of the candidates, not yard signs. In my opinion, yard signs rank right down there with Kathy Narum's beautification of Pioneer Cemetery plans in the "not very important" category.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

Wow! Exuding contempt is right! Just imagine the lectures he will be giving us citizens from the dais! Councilmembers are elected to serve the people, not the other way around.

I am so glad that we got to hear Dave speak on this issue. You have solidified my choice for anyone but you. We need resonable people on the Council, moderates, that are willing to compromise to get things done. You don't seem like the compromising type, maybe run for Congress instead!

...and what does one expect from a Tea Party extremist. This is Pleasanton not Tennessee, although by the usual vitriol on these postings, you sometimes think we were. Pleasanton seems like a pretty well run, moderate city to most that I have spoken to.
a resident of Hart Middle School
on Mar 13, 2013 at 8:47 am
I do not like sign blight but this election by mail does change the rules. Dave's explanation is valid.
The city staff is threatened by Miller because he will not be a passive yes man.
Jeb, you have too much bias to be objective, you wrote a non-story about Kathy losing weight. I saw a Narum sign on a car, that was carelessly taking up two spaces in a full parking lot, last week. As a result I had to park in the dirt across the street, at night in the dark! Now there's a story!
a resident of Bordeaux Estates
on Mar 13, 2013 at 9:39 am
Really...??? this is what we are arguing about??? Signs? and who put them on who's lawn.. when???
Why don't you try writing an article that talks about how unelected unaccountable regional bureaucrats are targeting our town for high density stack and pack low income section 8 style housing???
Why don't you talk about how most of the candidates for city council don't have the cahones that Miller has to stand up and lead rather than cave to these bureacrats?
It's obvious that this writer and the Pleasanton Weekly and city staff fear Miller and are trying to grasp at any weak argument to disparage him because he is an average citizen, not part of some special interest group or bureaucrat.
Good try, but we are not buying this nonsense. It's about time Pleasanton citizens elect someone who will stand for something instead of fall for everything!
My vote is for Dave Miller!!!!
a resident of Mohr Park
on Mar 13, 2013 at 9:40 am
Guys, this is exactly why we need to have a City Council member who is above reproach. We don't need people who feel they "deserve" the position. Paying for a bombardment of advertising should not be rewarded with getting elected. The other two candidates, Hamilton and Sanwa, have not used this approach. We need someone with high integrity who is not tied to Business or Real Estate. This Hamilton guy is a retired Marine Officer. He has also coached my kids in several sports. That smells like integrity to me. Our city is at a crossroads right now. We can't have a voting block that will occur if Narum is elected. I do not know much about Sanwa so I can't speak to her.
a resident of Castlewood
on Mar 13, 2013 at 9:50 am
I agree with DEE....
We need real reporting! The Pleasanton Weekly article is a smoke screen to avoid talking about real issues.
I'm sick and tired of paying taxes and having our taxes go to unelected boards bodies and commissions that then turn around and withhold them from our town if we don't comply with ridiculous measures that hurt our town. We as citizens want local control. We are tired of our City Councils giving up their power to agencies, like ABAG (Association of Bay Area Governments), MTC (Metropolitan Transportation Commission), BAAQMD (Bay Area Air Quality Management District), BCDC (Bay Area Conservation and Development Commission) and all the other alphabet soup nonelected regional boards.
What we should be doing as citizens is supporting local candidates who want to push back from this regionalist takeover. I hear that citizens in Danville and other cities like Corte Madera are pushing back against these unelected bodies and their attempt to transform the ENTIRE Bay Area into stack and pack low income housing sesspools. Corte Madera even went so far as to drop out of ABAG.... If enough cities stand up to them and drop out they will lose power. Why doesn't this reporter report on those issues???
If candidates want to earn my respect and vote they need to stand up for the citizens and local control. I'm voting for Dave Miller. He is the only candidate who is willing to actively stand up to these thug regional unelected bodies.
Who cares who put signs where and when!!!!
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Mar 13, 2013 at 10:17 am
Ok, I get it--rules don't apply to the tea party and therefore, Miller doesn't have to follow them! Great, just what we need for leadership of Pleasanton, NOT!!!
a resident of Downtown

The real issue is that David signed something that he is intentionally not honoring.
How many things would he agree to on Council that he wouldn't honor?
How many promises does David intend to break??
Not getting my vote if this is an indication of his character.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Mar 13, 2013 at 10:48 am
Concerning the city's interest in "sign blight", campaign signs for a couple of months every couple of years are nothing compared to the thousands of signs along our streets and roads placed by the City of Pleasanton. Try and read every city installed sign as you drive around town. These could be another cause of distracted driving. Stop signs are important. But signs warning of a nearby stop sign are confusing. Perhaps the worst examples are out along Vineyard toward Ruby Hill where city signs and expensive barriers warn you that the sidewalk is ending!
Campaign signs are a protected free speech right. The start of the special mail in only voting is in three weeks. It seems reasonable that candidates would want to have their signs out by now. This sort of article is a distraction from issues critical to Pleasanton and trivializes the election. But, of course an article like this is easier that inviting the candidates into the office and doing in depth interviews.

David Miller signs have been up around the neighborhood near Amaral Park as well as several on Martin Drive for a few weeks?? I have not seen signs for other candidates anywhere. Can't believe David replaced the "Downtown Gene" Memorial outside of Tully's .....Where is his sense of compassion & dignity???
a resident of Mohr Elementary School
on Mar 13, 2013 at 12:03 pm
How do you know David replace the "Downtown Gene" Memorial outside of Tully's? Do you see him doing it? He is a great person with integrity, he will never do things like this. When we make comments, we will need to have facts, not speculations. The citizens of pleasanton will benefit greatly if David is elected as city council.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Mar 13, 2013 at 12:19 pm
Just wondering, you are exactly right we need to have facts. Read some of the posts above yours--lots of speculation but no facts from supporters of Miller (or Miller posting under different names). If he is a person of integrity he would want his supporters to post correct facts not innuendos or misfacts such as in the very first post.
He has a flyer out that makes it look like the Pleasanton Weekly is endorsing him. In fact the quote is from an anyonomus blogger that he himself could have written. This behavior is hardly from person with integrity!!

We need more Dave Miller signs as soon as possible. There is no "rule", no "law", no reason why election signs should not be posted a week or two before the election begins. The important issues that are mentioned on this thread are what the Pleasanton Weekly should be addressing. There are a lot of issues that will affect the future of our City, and David Miller's signs are not one of them. This issue was not worthy of an article in the paper.

What else would you expect from a Tea Party member? Look, rules don't apply to Tea Party patriots when they are fighting for freedom, liberty, and right to sit on lawn chairs at the fairgrounds. If there is one think Pleasanton needs, it's a know-nothing council member who declares war on public school teachers while reciting empty right-wing platitudes. Have mercy!!!

Why don't you concentrate on the real issues facing the voters of Pleasanton rather than the manufactured issues like when signs are put out? Time for a real debate, rather than a phony article that tries to trash someone based on an irrelevant issue.
Pleasanton is facing serious problems that are being forced on the community with all the high density housing that scheduled to be built. The School district is planning on 3.8 children per unit (where the average before the high density was 1.2 children). Who will be paying for that??
I hope the citizens of Pleasanton realize what is at stake and hold all candidates to discussing the issues and figuring out where each candidate stands.

"Who cares if someone served in the military...Anyone can go in the military."
This is a lie and an insult to those who are both willing and qualified to serve. A well documented recent study report states that 75% of the age 17 to 22 population is not eligible to serve due to inadequate education, poor physical health, legal issues and more.

While military service is certainly not a requirement to serve as a city council member, it does show a significant commitment to serve our community and nation in the most selfless way.

a few weeks ago while myself and a couple of colleagues were discussing what a terrible council member miller would make, one of them said, "Don't worry. You give that clown enough rope and he'll hang himself." My how right he was.
for those tea party sheeple who insist this is a "non-issue", what a great example of how off your moral compass is when you label integrity a "non-issue". yes, this absolutely is an integrity issue. he agreed to the signage limitations and chose to ignore his promise to comply. while he broke no law, it speaks volumes about his thoughts on keeping his word.

It sounds like Dave Miller is making some of you nervous. This is without a doubt THE most ridiculous subject for an article I've ever heard of. It's almost school yard behavior by alleged adults. Why dont all of you grow up, get behind Dave Miller and start addressing some of the real problems facing Pleasanton, like section 8 welfare losers given a free pass to an upscale community, Pleasanton will look like Oakland in twenty years if you dont stop with your petty behavior

Why not "Craig?" Because if David Miller can't understand a simple thing like when signs should go up, then what else can't he understand? Or perhaps if David Miller can't understand that Pleasanton residents don't want political signs all over the landscape all year long, then why should he care what they want about anything? Or maybe it's as simple as David Miller thinking the rules don't apply to him. Which is it?

a resident of Downtown
on Mar 14, 2013 at 9:21 am
When someone steps up to run for City Council it is not a joke. It is time consuming, expensive, and, as demonstrated here, the man has put himself up for slander by loonies like yourself. Dave Miller is not connected to the liberal elites who have been running our City, so he does not have the name recognition of some of the other folks in the race. But that does not make him a joke. If the elites keep whining about Dave Miller signs, that will be great for Dave: it will give him more name recognition, and it will put the other candidates at a disadvantage because people will assume that they also think that yard signs are the biggest issue of the campaign - right up there with mowing the yard at Pioneer Cemetery.
a resident of Del Prado
on Mar 14, 2013 at 9:30 am
So let me get this straight. Mr. Miller, in an open letter to the editor of the PW and the entire citizenry of the town of Pleasanton addressed the issues in which he was wrongfully accused of by pointing out specific time frames for election campaigning rules & regulations regarding signage and people are upset?
He did this (IMHO) without "imploding", with malice or with any "contempt" for the populace, electoral process or citizenry of Pleasanton.
If all you want to do is bring your own hostile preconceived notions of what you assume David Miller to possess into this discussion based on his perceived affiliations then you simply are acting on an emotional basis and therefore I completely discount any further argument you will try to make.
Personally I would love to finally have a member of The Council that will treat each and every issue that presents itself with fairness, reason, objectivity, integrity and above all else, a true concern for the PEOPLE of Pleasanton, not the established infrastructure that somehow seems to suck the life, money and soul out of our past elected officials. I believe that David Miller can rise above the din and be a voice of reason and sanity for local politics and the city of Pleasanton.
I urge you to vote for David Miller for City Council.
a resident of Bonde Ranch
on Mar 14, 2013 at 9:35 am
Exactly John! But Dave and his supporters don't care about the fact this is a statewide issue and somehow think we can fight the allocation of high density housing locally. By the way we tried fighting this and the State sued us, and we lost. Maybe Dave Miller should spend his time fighting the state instead of running for a local government. To the person quoting Danville as fighting this (read more about it as they just approved it last week as they can't fight it even if they drop out of ABAG, the MTC and any every other regional agency. In fact dropping out actually would have increased the number of units they would need as allocated by the State)
As for City Staff being afraid, I wouldnt know, but as a Pleasanton resident I am afraid that this guy will waste my tax dollars fighting things we can't possible win!

Candidate Miller has my vote, my $100 donation and as soon as I get my yard sign it is going up per my first ammendment rights. The Left's attack on Mr. Miller and the Tea Party is another example of Saul Alinksy tactics to Deflect, Deny and Demean. Keep it up David and don't let them push you around! Big government leftism is intellectually dishonest, killing America and truly a mental disease!!!

Yup, candidate Miller has given new meaning to free speech rights with his misleading flyer that looks like the Weekly has endorsed him. Assuming this was unintentional, then why hasn't he corrected it by acknowledging where the quote he's using came from or in fact is he trying to make people believe he is endorsed by the Weekly? This is someone with integrity. . .?

To M, from Bonde Ranch Neighborhood. You are correct. The state is mandating subsidized stack & pack housing through MTC/ABAG. But that is because people are not willing to continue to stand up. We pay the Director of MTC over $345,000 annually! If city councils consisted of people like David Miller, it is possible there could be a mass exodus of cities from ABAG. With statesmen like councils, people could take back the power.
One city in Marin dropped out of ABAG and their housing allocation was reduced! Does this mean ABAG is vulnerable? If people are going to get bck the control of their cities, it will take concerned citizen and candidates like David Miller who will not throw in the towel. Otherwise, the cost of unintended consequences is much higher than litigation.

Janet, please provide a link or reference showing the housing allocation was reduced after dropping out of ABAG.
Are you aware of the Palmer decision? The ruling was basically that cities can't force developers to include below market rate housing in their community. (It calls into question the inclusionary zoning ordinace that Pleasanton uses along with other cities.) This can dramatically affect the concept of rhna numbers, etc.

To resident of another Pleasanton neighborhood:
I would not be kidding about such good news. Of course there is a big problem with this good news. When a community gets its housing allocation reduced, ABAG simply gives that reduction to some other poor town. Something like bait and switch.
Check with Bob Ravasio for details. He is a Corte Madera Council member with real back bone. Corte Madera withdrew from ABAG. I see that backbone in David Miller.

Mr. Miller..I don't need you to do the math for me or anyone else. We are all educated adults and don't need to be treated like children. You have shown your true colors as just another politician who thinks you know best for all us little people. If you get upset, as your comments have proven, from such a small issue concerning campaign signage what will happen when a citizen confront you in a counsel meeting? Perhaps you should take some time to really think about your maturity and understanding before you attempt to get elected to serve. Pleasanton does not need another know it all with an agenda...we need someone who listens to the citizens, all the citizens, and applies fair and sound judgement.....this is not you Mr. miller

I'm with Steve and all the other names he's posting under. It's time we showed some backbone and stood up to United Nations' efforts to integrate our community. We all need to reach down within us and find that George Wallace moment. Don't tread on us! I've got a half-dozen Confederate Flags that I'd be happy to loan out to people.
In the meantime, all 9 eligible voters in my household are voting for David Miller. Also, I can assure you that every house in my neighborhood already has at least one Miller sign in the front yard. He's got my $1000 donation, and I'm probably going to write a check for another $1000 each day until the election.

And for those of you who may be wondering, my wife and seven adult children currently live in my house as an unintended consequence of de facto affirmative action which effectively ruled against my kids being able to get a decent education at a public university. That they are unemployed is an unintended consequence of Barroken Obama's bankrupt jobs policy.
PS Why don't those lazy Section 8ers go out and find a job?

OPINION My, my. Evidently, the current regime in Pleasanton and its unofficial cadre of Potemkin Villagers are doing their level best to pre-emptively marginalize Mr. Miller. Given the number of acerbic comments, the First Amendment must apply only to those of a certain mind set and not to those who are bucking the existing political machine. Union City and Fremont are on this same upscale ghetto-by-design program. It is simply a nightmare of cross purposes and costly diversions of limited resources. These plans are promulgated by proponents of universal governance using linguistic slights of hand worthy of the most proficient grafter. And, they are set forth for the benefit of those beholden to government for their lives and "liberty," which, as all realists know, equates to votes. OPINION

@ "Are you kidding"
I suppose it was perfectly OK in your mind when Karla Brown used the "save our ridge lines" tag line in her campaign move to strike down the Linn development when their literature was purposely vague enough in its wording and imagery and their supporters also did not make an effort to correct peoples misconceptions that they were protecting the Pleasanton Ridge (west side of town) and not a small hillside only visible from Stanley, Vineyard Ave's & the general vicinity?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Mar 14, 2013 at 5:38 pm
JM I didn't agree with Karla Brown's tag line but there's a BIG difference in a tag line and a quote attributed to the Weekly and NOT to where it actually came from!! For all we know Miller could have posted the quote on the blog himself and then used it to make it look like the Weekly endorsed him.
The point here is that a number of people have spoken about his integrity. If he has integrity, he would then want to identify the source of the quote so that it was clear where it came from. I don't really care about what has happened in previous elections--the point here is that this most certainly shows a lack of ethics and integrity. I'd be interested in what Gina or Jeb think about the use of the quote and the way its attributed to the Weekly.

Thank you, David Miller, for pointing out that the city's voluntary policy was out of date relative to the recent vote-by-mail procedures. You have championed other common sense and practical solutions to the issues facing the city and school district. I encourage all voters to look at David's platform and approach to solutions and see that having him represent the citizens on the City Council will be a good thing.

If David thought the policies were out of date, he shouldn't have signed the pledge.
It's clear to me that David can't keep his word. I can't vote for someone like that.

I've met Mr. Miller on several occasions during the Saturday Farmers Markets. He is a very nice man with very good ideas about serving our community. David has spent considerable time researching how our city allocates financial resources. Why don't the naysayers here spend a few minutes on a Saturday morning and actually meet David and see what his ideas are all about? Just sayin.....
By the way, TEA party is an acronym for "Taxed Enough Already". Aren't we all?

We need City Council members who are honest and play fair(espcially when they sign a pledge and everyone else is playing fair game) even if not required by law.
I was shocked with David Miller's response denying he did any thing wrong with signs. Nonesty starts with the litle things. This appears to be just another example where Miller has stretched the truth and tried to play by his rules.
I drive all over town every day and have seen Miller signs in several locations - have never seen signs from any other candidates. David will not get my vote - thank you Jeb for making us aware of the situation.

David Miller. Now let me see. You have been in Pleasanton less than four years. You don't have a business in town, or do you work in town. You don't sit on or have you ever volunteered for any city commissions or boards, You don't belong to any local service clubs or organizations. I understand you joined the Pleasanton Chamber the week before the candidate's interviews. That was a good move. You are against honoring our founders, citizens and veterans at the city owned Pioneer cemetery and criticize the people that would like to do that. What is your stand on apple pie and mother hood? Is that a left wing conspiracy?
Now with zero experience, you want to be on the Pleasanton City council. Why? Because you are against everything?
David, why don't you take some time and learn about our city. It's a great place once you get to know it. Get involved, join in, take some time to learn about this wonderful place we call home. You might be a better candidate next time.

I like to check the facts and then apply some common sense to the issues. According to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters, the Early Voting starts on Monday, April 8th. Given this FACT, does it make sense to wait until the end of March to start campaigning?...The only candidate that realized that the answer to this 'common sense question' was 'NO'.
Not only did Dave Miller see the problem, he acted on it. Sound's like my kind of guy!

- Offering something as a benefit for members is a great way to encourage people to join.
- Speak to local bike shops about offering a discount. If they are unsure, then suggest that the slight loss of earnings will be offset by the customer loyalty as cyclists return to take advantage of the reduced rates. Also, remind them that your campaigning should increase cycling in your local area, which will result in more business. Offer them an advert on your website or in your newsletter.
- If any of your members are skilled mechanics, ask whether they might consider running evening maintenance classes.
- Publicise your objectives and achievements. Produce leaflets advertising the benefits of joining, whether through weekend rides, social activities, discounts, or just the warm glow from supporting cycling.
- Make it as easy to join as possible. Put a form on any leaflets or your website, or include a number which people can call to sign up.
- Make subscriptions low enough to appeal, but high enough to cover costs. Offer lower rates to the unemployed, students, pensioners and the under-18s.
- Don't be concerned if your membership is low at first. If you don't admit that you have only three members, then who will know?

Looks kind of like this one.
How about me and my bike?
Lauren, where do I look to find racks to mount luggage
on my 100GS? Beemer dealer, or? Thought you might
know. TIA
I would sell you mine if I didn't need them for a while longer. As soon as I get a job I will probably get some Jesses and then I won't need my racks anymore. You could probably ask on either the GS or Airhead lists (or I could for you) for a used set, or try Recycle (sp?) or Parts Haus. A Beemer dealer would surely be able to get you a new set, but most used sets would be fine.
Mine are slightly bent and one joint was broken, but we brazed it back together - the crash tweaked it a bit. If you buy a used set and can examine them before buying, look at the joints for cracks and poor weld jobs - many people assume they are welded, but they are brazed, and they could easily screw up the joint by not properly preparing the joint before welding it (they should instead braze it).

Thanks. It was on 12 in Utah near Escalante National Monument.
Here is a picture of my Nighthawk on the side of one of my favorite quick getaway roads.
(I hope I did it right).
My three toys. I'm in the middle of turbo'ing the orange one.

I thought you were a chick.
I know you didn't ask, but the GS shot was taken
on a forest road off 4 in the Sierra Nevadas.
Sorry to ruin your fantasies while you were jacking off - or did I just make them better?
naw mang, you totally harshed the chubby.
for some reason I thought you had a pd.
That's good, I have enough problems with chicks chasing after me, I don't need guys lusting after me too.
Wish I did - I could use a larger tank. I was thinking about getting a larger tank, but on an impulse I got this instead:
While the picture of the GS is not especially noteworthy, thought I'd share this pic because just about every tree you see (close and far away) in this photo was consumed by the 137,000 acre Hayman Fire (still burning but contained) in the Pike National Forest. Pikes Peak is about 50 miles to the SE. Had lunch on the log to the right. Not a single vehicle passed during lunch. Saw fringe portions of the burn area two nights ago on a ride. Moonscape with black tree sticks. Hope to take the GS in the fire area when the main roads are opened up. While forest fires naturally occur, kinda sad to know this one was human started, claimed 133 homes, and the forest will not return to the way it looked in this photo during our lifetime.
Lauren you should be out riding the bike not wasting money on that thing
Fish, I believe I took a picture at that very same location, except I was aiming more to the right and I left my GS out of the picture. Beautiful country, that Escalante.
That's it, frogger! Cool how you can see the road slithering around down below through the rocks.
This road? :):
and the view right before that...
And heading south other the pass before getting to the above splendor. Amazing road, But more of these damn things than I've ever seen before.

Temperature Calibration
What is Temperature Calibration?
Temperature calibration refers to the calibration of any device used in a system that measures temperature. Most importantly, this usually means the temperature sensor, itself, which is typically a platinum resistance thermometer (PRT or PT-100), thermistor, or thermocouple. Readings from these thermometers are made by "thermometer readout" devices which measure their electrical outputs and convert them to temperature according to the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90)
Thermometers are typically calibrated by placing them in a stable temperature environment (heat source) and comparing their output to that of a calibrated "reference thermometer" or "standard thermometer." Fluke Calibration provides three general categories of heat sources: industrial heat sources (dry-well calibrators, Micro-Baths, etc.) for field use; fluid baths and thermocouple furnaces for laboratory use; and fixed-point cells for "primary" calibrations. Fluke Calibration also offers a variety of reference thermometers, including SPRTs, and thermometer readout instruments.
In addition, Fluke Calibration provides a variety of laboratory and field solutions for calibrating the electronics used in temperature measurement circuits.
Field, laboratory, and primary temperature calibration
Field temperature calibration(or "industrial" or "portable" temperature calibration) applies to thermometers being tested outside of a laboratory environment, typically to accuracies ranging from 5 °C to 0.5 °C. Dry-wells, Metrology Wells, Micro-Baths, IR targets, and other portable heat sources provide stable temperatures, while portable thermometer readouts and thermometer standards can provide reference temperatures beyond that available directly from the heat source.
Laboratory or secondary temperature calibration relates to the calibration of reference-grade PRT or PT-100, precision thermistors, and noble-metal thermocouples. Ultra-stable and uniform temperature baths and horizontal furnaces (for the high temperatures needed by thermocouples) are used along with SPRT reference thermometers and high-accuracy thermometer readouts. Such systems can provide calibration accuracies from 0.5 °C to 0.02 °C.
Fixed-point or primary temperature calibration utilizes fixed-point cells, such as the Triple Point of Water, which provide extremely accurate and repeatable temperature when they are properly "realized," typically in a laboratory setting. Such systems are used for calibrating SPRTs and noble-metal thermocouples and can be as accurate as 0.001 °C.
Hart Scientific products and the Fluke Calibration brand
In 2001, Fluke acquired Hart Scientific, located in American Fork, Utah. Temperature products continued to be sold under the Hart Scientific label until 2010 when Fluke introduced the Fluke Calibration brand, which includes the Hart Scientific products as well as electrical, RF, pressure, and flow calibration products. Today, some temperature products are manufactured at Fluke headquarters in Everett, Washington, while fixed-point and thermometry products continue to be manufactured in Utah. We continue to rely on the exceptional team of experts that previously made Hart Scientific the world's leading brand for temperature calibration.

Selecting a Solution
Calibrating a temperature sensor can be a challenge, but is very doable with some know-how and the right products. The first step is to understand the thermometer being calibrated: What type of electrical signal does it output or is it entirely mechanical? What are its physical characteristics (size, shape, size and shape of sensor hidden inside the probe sheath, etc.)? Over what temperature range is it used? And what accuracies are relied on over those temperatures? Can it be calibrated in a laboratory or must it be calibrated in the field or even in-situ?
The answers to these questions help define the products and processes that comprise the right solution for you. One quick and easy way to work through these answers and define a calibration solution that is fully reliable but not overdone is to contact our application experts at 1.877.883.8225. They have a great deal of knowledge and experience adapting calibration solutions to a wide variety of requirements.

Dialysis Nursing – A Career With Many Opportunities
There is an over abundance of Dialysis Nurse jobs available, making it an excellent career field with a great career outlook. It is a fast paced and hectic work environment, but it is also very rewarding. Dialysis patients not only need excellent medical care, but compassion and comfort.
A dialysis nurse is also referred to as a nephrology nurse, a urology nurse or a renal nurse. Being a specialized nursing care, the job description differences from that of RN who performs general patient care. They are the key component for managing patient care and operating complex dialysis equipment. They also perform medical procedures, do patient assessments, blood product transfusions, lab work, and general patient care. Kidney failure can be serious and life threatening, so a well trained and dedicated nurse can be a dialysis' patients lifeline. Nurses spend a lot of one on one time with patients, so to be successful they must be empathetic and kind. Exceptional interaction skills, communication skills, decision making skills and having the ability to work as part of a team are also necessary to be successful in this field.
Outside of hospitals, there are approximately 3,600 dialysis facilities in the United States, giving them opportunities to work from just about anywhere. Although job opportunities are primarily in hospitals and clinics, nurseries are not limited to these settings. they can specialize in home treatment and teach patients how to perform dialysis procedures at home. They not only educate their patients, they also monitor and administer medications and evaluate how their patient's home dialysis routine is progressing. This gives them some freedom and the ability to create their own schedule. Dialysis nurses working at facilities typically work between 36-50 hours a week.
The salary for dialysis nurses can be very generous. According to salary.com, the average salary is over $ 64,000. This amount varies, and can be higher based on experience, additional certification and having a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing, or a Master's of Science in Nursing. If the nurse has a Certified Hemodialysis Nurse credential they can expect higher pay. Although most employers prefer experience, if you are new to the field there are still plenty of Dialysis Nurse jobs available.
A career as a Dialysis Nurse is not only rewarding mentally, but it provides a great sense of security. The healthcare industry is the largest industry in the world providing 14 million jobs and the United States Department of Labor prerequisites that it will generate 3 million new wage and salary jobs between 2006 and 2016. The high demand and low supply of dialysis nurses make it a career with many opportunities. This combined with the self-satisfaction of taking care of others and improving peoples lives makes being a diagnostic nurse a fulfilling, life long career.

Search BCA Hall of Fame Inductees by Year
Hall of Fame Inductees: 1966-1968
Fourteen-time World Pocket Billiard Champion Ralph Greenleaf possessed all the flash and flair of a natural showman. With his beautiful actress wife, Princess Nai Tai Tai, the handsome Greenleaf put together a sparkling trick-shot performance and toured the vaudeville circuit in the 1920s and 30s. The audiences watched him perform his spectacular shots by looking at a huge mirror suspended on stage over the playing table. Greenleaf won his first Pocket Billiard championship in 1919 and his last one in 1937.
Willie Hoppe, whose brilliant career was one of the longest in the annals of the sport, is considered by many to be the greatest all-around billiard player of any era. In 1906, at the tender age of 18, Hoppe won his first world's title by defeating the renowned French champion, Maurice Vignaux, at 18.1 Balkline in a memorable match in Paris. He went on to win the 18.2 Balkline and Cushion Carom titles and years later, between 1936 and 1952, held the Three-Cushion title 11 times.
Charlie Peterson
"Missionary of Billiards"
1880 - 1962
Inducted 1966
Charlie Peterson earned the title "Missionary of Billiards" for his untiring efforts to promote the game throughout the United States. In addition to being the world's fancy-shot champion and, for years, holder of the Red Ball title, Peterson made scores of personal appearances at colleges and universities across the country and was the guiding spirit of the Intercollegiate and Boys' Clubs of America tournaments. Peterson died at the age of 83, after a life devoted to winning friends for the sport of billiards.
Welker Cochran, a champion who trained for his billiard matches with the same intensity as a professional boxer, won his first of two 18.2 Balkline titles in 1927. He later went on to become the Three-Cushion champion five times in the 1930s and 40s. Like many stars of the sport, Cochran learned the game in his father's billiard establishment, and he became the prodigy of Frank Gotch, the wrestler, who sent young Cochran to Chicago to hone his playing talents.
The career of the distinguished Cuban champion Alfredo de Oro encompassed both Three-Cushion and Pocket Billiards and spanned the closing decades of the 19th century and the opening decades of the 20th. De Oro, who served in his country's diplomatic corps, first gained the Pocket Billiard crown in 1887. He was to repeat the achievement 16 times in the next 25 years. De Oro held the Three-Cushion title 10 times from 1908 through 1919. In 1934, at the age of 71, de Oro came out of retirement for a Championship Tournament, winning two dramatic victories from defending champion Welker Cochran and the ultimate winner of the tournament, Johnny Layton.
Ben Nartzik will always be remembered for his tireless crusade to revive billiards from its severe doldrums in the 1950s. Nartzik deserves a lion's share of the credit for ridding the game of its "pool hall" image and re-establishing its status as a "gentleman's sport." Under his leadership, the BCA was able to help both the Boys Club of America and the Association of College Unions to organize billiard programs and run successful annual tournaments. Nartzik recognized the potential of the industry and bought the National Billiard Chalk Co. of Chicago.
For most people, the name Willie Mosconi and the sport of Pocket Billiards are synonymous. And rightly so, since from 1940 to 1957 Mosconi had a near-stranglehold on the World Title, winning it 15 times in that period. Born in Philadelphia in 1913, Willie was a prodigy with the cue by the age of seven. At 20, he embarked on a hectic cross-country exhibition tour with his idol, Ralph Greenleaf, then World Champ and at the height of his game. The result, 57 wins for Greenleaf, an amazing 50 wins for the young Mosconi. One of the most astounding of Mosconi's many records is his exhibition high run of 526 balls!
Jake Schaefer, Sr., "A player whose super-brilliance with a billiard cue won for him the sobriquet of "Wizard." So ran the lead of a 1909 newspaper article singing the praises of Jake Schaefer, Sr. From the last quarter of the 19th century through the first decade of the 20th, Schaefer, Sr. was one of the most feared names in Balkline Billiards. Derivations of the game were invented just to stymie his genius - all unsuccessfully. He traveled throughout the world winning matches and gathering fans. On March 11, 1908, though desperately ill, he successfully defended his title in his final match for the 18.1 championship against Willie Hoppe by a score of 500 to 423.
Billiard historians generally rank Jake Schaefer, Jr. as the greatest of the American Balkline players. He was the world champion at 18.2 in 1921, 1925, 1926, 1927, and 1929-1933. He held the 18.1 honors in 1926-1927 and the 28.2 title in 1937-1938. At the 18.2 game, he holds four records which have never been equaled in this country: best game average, 400 (from the break); grand average, tournament, 57.14; grand average, match, 93.25; high run, match, 432.

O Shigidy!!!!
- The Riddler is the primary villain and he figures out Batman's identity.
- Arkham Asylum will figure prominently in the story.
- Several classic villains will cameo, including the Penguin and Mr. Freeze (though as Dr. Fries, not as the supervillain).
- Barbara Gordon will have a featured role.
- Commissioner Gordon will mention Metropolis and possibly Lex Luthor.
- Dick Grayson may be in the movie (though probably not as Robin).

why college is stupid
As I sit here in my university's dining hall I begin to think about all
the bullshit that annoys me on campus. I know, I know, I know I
shouldn't complain...but lets just look at this as a list, a list that
"points out" fuckery and the foolishness. Lets begin (I'll try to make
this as universal as possible)
1. How everyone looks like its twin day. Personal style...hello! Get
2. Large people with large meals and a diet soda
3. Fraternity and sorority landyards...gahhhh. Put it away!
4. People who walk slow. Invest in a hoverround
5. Track that looks like my cat shit on it, ate it, spat it out, and
then my dog came and glued it on with his tongue
6. People carrying empty backpacks. Why are you here?
7. Old ass full time students that have been old and full time since
I've been here (2006)
8. People who don't look both ways. They just cross the street. Don't
you know I will hit you?!!
9. its 20 degrees and you have on a button up? Put a damn coat on!
10. Loud ass girls. Did they send out a mass email that loud
obnoxiousness was attractive? Did I miss that email?
...that feels better. Have a good rest of the day folks...I'm off to bio
lab! Ugh #FTW I guess?

Qtopia on Neo1973
From Openmoko
English • العربية • Български • Česky • Dansk • Deutsch • Esperanto • Eesti • Español • فارسی • Suomi • Français • עברית • Magyar • Italiano • 한국어 • Nederlands • Norsk (bokmål) • Polski • Português • Română • Русский • Svenska • Slovenčina • Українська • 中文(中国大陆) • 中文(台灣) • Euskara • Català
Qtopia image
Get "Qtopia on Neo Flash Image and kernel" from here. Currently the flash tarball has the 2.6.21 openmoko kernel and a Qtopia phone edition jffs2 flash image cross-compiled for the Neo.
Newer unofficial Qtopia images can be found in the ScaredyCat repositories.
It appears you must clear the flash chunks first (if you have not updated your uboot. If you have, you may skip this step). Get into uboot console [1] and enter
nand erase kernel nand erase rootfs
Download and use dfu-util as normal and the ip address and cidr are the same as the openmoko build (192.168.0.202/24) :D - Simple, Eh?
Qtopia AND OpenMoko Option 1
Why choose when you can have both ;)
I assume you already have some recent version of OpenMoko on your Neo1973. If not, have a look here.
First backup everything on your micro-sd card you don't want to lose as we are going to create a new filesystem on it. This is necessary beacause vfat doesnt support links. Then ssh to your neo and do:
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1 mount /dev/mmcblk0p1
On your desktop: Get "Developer root filesystem" from here. Get the opt/Qtopia folder plus the qpe init script out of the archive repack and copy it to your neo. One could do this like this:
tar xzf ficgta01-qtopia-developer-rootfs.tgz opt/Qtopia etc/init.d/qpe mv opt/Qtopia etc/init.d/qpe . && rm -r opt etc tar czf Qtopia.tar.gz Qtopia qpe scp Qtopia.tar.gz email@example.com:/media/card/
On your neo again: unpack the archive you just copied and link the Qtopia folder to /opt/Qtopia. Then move the init script to /etc/init.d/:
cd /media/card tar xzf Qtopia.tar.gz mkdir -p /opt ln -s /media/card/Qtopia /opt/Qtopia mv qpe /etc/init.d
Now kill the x server and gsmd and start Qtopia (this can take some time):
/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop /etc/init.d/gsmd stop /etc/init.d/qpe start
Where from here? You could put the last step in a script and start it from a terminal on your phone. But much nicer would be if you could choose between both interfaces on init time and have some small application in Qtopia/OpenMoko to switch.
Qtopia AND OpenMoko Option 2
- format your SD card with ext3 and mount it (see above)
- unpack rootfs from qtopia-4.3.0-preview-neo-flash.tgz to SD card (see above)
- copy the uImage-126.96.36.199-moko11-r2-fic-gta01.bin kernel to the boot/ on SD card and rename it to uImage
- put a 'Boot from SD' menu item in uboot menu as explained here: Booting_from_SD#Step_3:_Add_uboot_boot_entry
Build your own
If you want to build qtopia for yourself you can download the technical preview or snapshots
Most things seem to work out of the box, however you may need to use the following command to get audio:
alsactl -f /etc/gsmhandset.state restore
Or put this command in /etc/init.d/qpe line 64
Do not switch themes. Only the default theme is usable. For example, once you switch themes, the lock feature continues to work, but only if you unlock using the smallest # keypad in the world.
Suspend support is very flaky. The neo often shuts off from a suspend state. It will not wake from suspend for an incoming call or text message (someone try setting an alarm and report results here). To turn suspend off (this will of course use the batteries very quickly), hit the down arrow next to the suspend setting in the power management until it says "Off".
When using the virtual keyboard, do a quick flick up or down over the keyboard to access numbers/symbols/capitals.
In summary, Qtopia on the Neo1973 is much closer to being ready than OpenMoko as of this writing. However, sound and suspend support prevent it from being at all useful as a cell phone (as a landline that doesn't ring but instead vibrates, it works ok).
Here are some screenshots of Qtopia runing on a Neo 1973. Personally I find it very impressive...

I was trying to debug some strange behaviour that I have with Internet@TV (I'm getting network interference message in almost all widgets), so I tried to modify .js files from widget manager and find out that, everytime that I modify something in widget manager, it gets reinstalled, overriding my changes. I've find out where to patch this behaviour, and I'm trying to create a patch injectable using samygoso, but I cannot find how to write the proper change on memory...
In GDB I patch by
I've create a lib that currently is able to find the proper point to patch, by:
Code: Select all
set {long int}0x016f3768 = 0xe3530001
And the logs output that I'm getting is:
Code: Select all
unsigned long int *cur_addr,*addr;
addr = (long int*)*hCTX.CNNaviAppBase_t_VerifyWM;
log("Starting to search at: @0x%08x\n",addr);
if(*cur_addr == CMP_R3_0)
log("Found point to patch at: @0x%08x\n",cur_addr);
log("Actual memory value: @0x%08x\n",*cur_addr);
*(long int*)cur_addr = 0xE3530001; //CMP_R3_1
log("After patch value is: @0x%08x\n",*cur_addr);
And exeDSP crashes, but I cannot find why, as dmesg gets totally filled with trash and I don't have an EXLink cable (I'll make one soon I think )...
Code: Select all

When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are going to take over my yard. My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing white fluff you can wish on. When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants money and I look away. My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile back. When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit self-consciously and listen. My kids feel the beat and move to it. They sing out the words. If they don't know them, they make up their own. When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back when I walk. My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing. When I pray I say thee and thou and grant me this, give me that. My kids say, "Hi God! Thanks for my toys and my friends. Please keep the bad dreams away tonight. Sorry, I don't want to go to Heaven yet. I would miss my Mommy and daddy." When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see muddy shoes and dirty carpets. My kids sit in it. They see dams to build, rivers to cross and worms to play with. I wonder if we are given kids to teach or to learn from? No wonder God loves the little children!! "Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things"!!

They can see the forest through the trees. And they don't seem to mind sharing their joy and happiness with anyone who cares to make the journey with them. There is no doubt in my mind that we adults can learn more from our children than they can learn from us. We don't have to be Mothers and Fathers either, but just remember what it was like for us when we were children before we got so smart. Stan Lambert St. Clair Shores, Michigan

State: Most metal resale shop scales accurate
Dept. finds 99-percent accuracy rate
MADISON, Wis. — State consumer protection officials surveyed nearly 130 scales used by Wisconsin precious metal buyers and found they were accurate most of the time or had errors in the seller's favor.
With the value of gold rising recently, more people with unwanted jewelry are taking it to precious metal resale shops. The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection said those sellers can feel confident they are getting the most for their money.
The department's weights and measures team took a look at 129 scales at resale locations statewide and found they were accurate or tipped in the seller's favor 99 percent of the time.
Trade and Consumer Protection administrator Sandy Chalmers said that every business day, weights and measures team members are at different locations throughout the state testing scales, gas pumps, price scanners and package weights.

Pure DWTS News Updates – Carrie Anne, Derek, Maks, Mark, Tony & More!!!
What have we got here? First, ABC has approved a new drama series called "Grace" which will premiere in May. Carrie Ann is said to be one of the master minds behind the new one hour show. Here is a take from EW.
The second one is dubbed Grace, a one-hour from Krista Vernoff (Grey's Anatomy) and Carrie Ann Inaba (yep, that Inaba from Dancing with the Stars) that focuses on a dysfunctional family set in the world of professional dance. We trust it will boast a generous sequin budget and, with any luck, a cameo or two by Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
I don't know about you, but this is sounding very cool to me so far.
This past Wednesday night Derek and Julianne showed up together for the Bvlgari Private Event honoring Simon Fuller And Paul Haggis benefitting "Save The Children" And "Artists For Peace And Justice". You can see them below. More pictures >>> HERE. Thanks to Heidi and Pure Derek Hough for this news.
Speaking of, Maks has set himself up for some teasing when he sees Derek next time. Read what Derek told Mark Malkim of E Online at the benefit. lol
"I'm going to give him hell when I see him," says fellow pro dancer Derek Hough.
Why? Because, as you may have heard, Maksim is the new Bachelor—in the Ukraine…
"I'm not going to lie," Hough told me last night at the Bulgari benefit for Save the Children and Artists for Peace and Justice. "When I first found out, I was very surprised and kind of found it funny.
"Well, not funny, but I know Maks," he continued. "It was like, 'You're going to do the Bachelor? And in the Ukraine?' "
Hough said he hopes Chmerkovskiy, who was once engaged to DWTS' Karina Smirnoff, does find love in his native country. "But when I see him," he laughed, "I'm going to be like, 'Dude, you and [former Bachelor and DWTS celeb competitor] Jake Pavelka are in the same club now! Is there a clubhouse you go to? Do you have like Bachelor jackets, too?' "
As most of you know, Tony is a judge for Miss America which is airing Saturday night on ABC (not last Saturday night like I made a mistake in telling you last week.). In a news conference, Tony talks about the first Miss America he saw crowned and what his life was like when he was younger in Yugoslavia (I didn't realize he lost so much family when he was young. 🙁 ).
Dovolani was a pre-teen Albanian when he began watching the Miss America broadcasts in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo of the former Yugoslavia.
When Miss America was crowned, "I thought she was like Mother Teresa," said Dovolani. Mother Teresa, the Catholic nun who won the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize for her work with slum children in India, was part Albanian and part Indian. She died at age 87 in 1997.
Dovolani was 12 and took part in armed defense efforts when Serbs began the expulsion of more than 100,000 Albanians in Pristina in the 1980s.
"They were trying to take away our language," said Dovolani, who was 16 and carrying a machine gun the day his family fled for Italy.
Thirty-six of his relatives died during the conflict: "17 young adults, and the rest were women and children," he said.
Dovolani, who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in the last year, said he was honored when asked to serve as a Miss America judge.
With the promotion of his new album this week, Mark gave The Day an interview on the phone. He discusses his new music and his dancing. Here is a little take from that interview. There is much more at the link.
On the first day of rehearsal, Bristol Palin couldn't even walk in high heels. So how did Ballas get someone who was starting at ground zero to improve?
"Lots of hard work and patience and communication and making it fun. You can't make this unenjoyable for someone who's never done it. You have to take care of them and make sure they're having a great time. We got along really well, and I love her to death, she's awesome. She'a great person."
The "Dancing with the Stars" pros have to work with celebs who possess a wide range of experience and abilities, so choreographing requires an ability to analyze and adjust:
"Well, you have to kind of see what feels natural to them, what they don't look awkward doing, too. Everything kind of comes in groups, so there's rhythm groups, turning groups, moving groups. Bristol looked great when she was moving – like in tango, she could cover a lot of ground, and in paso, she could cover a lot of ground. We would never do anything that was too, you know, turny, just because that wasn't something that she took to as easily as everything else. She had a great sense of timing, and she would retain really well. You have to see what looks good on them and what looks awkward and just try to avoid anything awkward."
While on his promotional tour, Mark also stopped at Howland Middle School in Howland, Ohio to talk to the students there about 'achieving their dreams'. With the spotlight being "teen bullying" here is what WYTV reports.
"When I was younger, I used to get a little stick at school because I was a dancer, but it never stopped me," said Ballas. "I think it's important that kids believe and enjoy what they do without having to constantly look over their shoulder, know what I mean?"
Ok, that is all for now. Have a safe and super weekend out there!!! If you haven't done so yet, please take a look at the serious contenders for the upcoming season in the new posts below. Lorenzo Lamas? *fans self and passes out anyway* 🙂

New bishop says Catholic Church must reach modern world
New Mexico's newest bishop said a major challenge for the Catholic Church is teaching the gospel to the modern world.
Rev. Oscar Cantu was installed into the Las Cruces Diocese on Thursday.
He said clergy leaders must adjust to the modern world.
"It is a world that is distracted by many things, and how do we reach those hearts?" Cantu said.
Archbishop Michael Sheehan agreed.
"A pagan world seems to be creeping into lives of many New Mexicans," Sheehan said.
Cantu said human hearts aren't any different than they were thousands of years ago, and that people still yearn for love, happiness and truth.
"Those are part of the Gospel message and what it gives to people, so, we have the right message, it's just how do we package it and get it to the people," he said.

Deer tests positive for CWD outside zone
Deer was outside CWD management zone in Grant County
MADISON, Wis. — A deer from outside the boundary of the chronic wasting disease management zone in Grant County has tested positive for the disease.
The 2.5 year old buck was killed and registered Nov. 18, according to a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources news release.
"It's disappointing but not unexpected to have a CWD-positive outside the current zone boundary. This is why we have focused surveillance around the fringes of the CWD management zone, to better understand the distribution of the disease and identify the presence of the disease in periphery areas," said Don Bates, DNR area wildlife supervisor, in the release.
The CWD-positive deer was harvested near the center of the county about 6.5 miles from the border of the CWD management zone and about eight miles from the nearest positive.
This is the second year that DNR has focused surveillance around the boundaries of the existing CWD management zone. Sampling of deer is voluntary in these areas and in Grant County, DNR partners with taxidermists to collect samples.
The DNR said this sampling result does not change any remaining hunting seasons nor does it change the current CWD management zone boundary. Baiting and feeding of deer is already banned in the county and will continue to be illegal, the DNR said.

Casey's choice: Life's one big pajama party
Stories roll off John Casey's tongue like the proverbial honey. Never satisfied with a one-word answer to any question, Casey remembers and recounts a history redolent of a life well-lived. In the rambling house on Rugby Avenue where he has resided for 30 years, each room, like his stories, is filled with interesting tangents and tchotchkes that lend color to his scholarly life.
After Casey answers the door clad in midnight-blue silk pajamas, the conversation (and his clothes) quickly sweeps all formality aside as discourses on Italy, opera, and his compost piles (of which he seems inordinately proud) ensue.
Casey follows George Garrett and Peter Taylor as the Henry Hoyns Professor of English at UVA. This appointment offers him the freedom to teach only in the spring, which means he can devote as much time as possible to completing the sequel to Spartina, his 1989 novel that won the National Book Award. "I've completed half," he states without apology.
Another major claim on his time is rowing, which during the season involves practicing six days a week. Casey is not one to take any pursuit lightly, as an impressive array of rowing medals attests.
As each question provides opportunities to veer into an ever-widening river of past experiences, it becomes impossible not to wonder whether, if he were asked the same questions at another time, the answers would be the same or different...
Casey quickly clears it up, "Oh, they would be completely different."
